I didn’t post last weekend because Andrea & I went to Denver to meet with the Copyblogger team. Someone mentioned the importance of rain to the indigenous people who populated North America centuries ago. This painting is representative of said importance.

Looking across the tomato patch at about 5 feet. The soil in the raised bed is about a foot above grade.

The squash patch headed for the lawn.

The backyard includes a garden spot which our landlord’s parent had used for years. Since I wasn’t planning on planting too much this year I decided to build a couple boxes for raised beds. I planted squash & transplanted tomatoes the week after Father’s Day.

The tomatoes are starting to overflow the raised bed.

The squash have hit the point where they are going to start running.

Apparently, Lauren likes drawing flowers. There were several more spread along about 100 feet of walkway.

Looking out into the Atlantic Ocean from the Liverpool (Nova Scotia) lighthouse.

Entry to the Alpine Garden

Waterfall at the entrance of the New Brunswick Botanical Garden

As soon as you step out of the reception centre at the New Brunswick Botanical Garden you can hear this waterfall. You have to walk a few yards before you can see it.

This brook runs through the New Brunswick Botanical Garden.

It was overcast today so the greens really stood out. The brook runs down through the middle of the Iris & Daylily garden.
